Isaiya 49:1-26
49 Nthehelelei onwe vilongo vili pokati kelunga,Nthehelelei nawa, onwe vanthu vovilongo veli kokule.+
Pweetyi nkhele nehenetyitwe,* Siovaa ankho wandyihana-le.+
Watumbula-le enyina liange, pweetyi nkhele ankho ndyili meimo lya mee.
2 Omulungu wange, weukalesa ngomutunga watwa.Wandyakulila notyihi tyenkhanya liae.+
Wankhalesa ohevo imwe yakwekwa nawa.Wanthyoleka motyipapo tyae tyonohevo.
3 Ngwe wamphopila okuti: “Ove Isilayeli, ove umuundapi wange,+Omu ove mandyikalekesila omunkhima wange.”+
4 Mahi ame nati: “Naundapa vala unene ononkhono-pwila.
Ononkhono mbange ambuho mbapeseka vala, ndyitupu etyi napola-po.
Mahi ame ndyityii nawa okuti, omukoyesi wange o Siovaa,*Ondyambi yange, itunda ku Huku yange.”+
5 Pahe, Siovaa, una wokwanthungila meimo ndyikale omuundapi wae,Wanthuma ndyikondole Sakoo kwe,Opo Isilayeli awanekwe kwe.+
Ame mandyikankhimanekwa komaiho a Siovaa.Huku yange, akakala ononkhono mbange.
6 Ngwe wati: “Ove kumuundapi wange vala,Opo upindule-po omihoko vya Sakoo,Okondola vokwahupa-po va Isilayeli.
Ame nekwaava ulinge otyimimi tyovanthu vovilongo,+Opo eyovo liange, lihike oku kwaoyela ohi.”+
7 Etyi, otyo Siovaa, Omuyovoli wa Isilayeli, Omukwa-ukola wae,+ apopila una wokwatombwa,+ una wokuyelwe novanthu votyilongo, omuundapi wovatumini, wati:
“Onohamba mambuketyimona, ambukatuka.Ovatumini mavakaikila konongolo,Mokonda ya Siovaa omukwatyili,+Omukwa-ukola wa Isilayeli, una wekukoya.”+
8 Etyi, otyo tyapopia Siovaa wati:
“Pononthiki mbokankhenda,* ame nekukumbululile,+Monthiki yeyovo, ame nekuyovola.+Ame nekuyunga nawa, ndyikwavele omphango yovanthu votyilongo,+Na upindule-po otyilongo etyi,Vatambule epingo liavo liahanyauka,+
9 Opo upopile ononkhwatwa okuti: ‘Tundei-mo!’+
Vana veli menthiki oveti:+ ‘Hololokei!’
Mavakavasa okulia monondyila,Mavakakala nomalihilo momatapalo aeho.*
10 Kamavakaliwa nondyala, nii ohunga,+Kamavakamona ononkhumbi nomutenya watokota, eli ekumbi kamalikeveyoka.+
Mokonda, mavakahongolelwa na Una wokuna okankhenda,+Mekevehongolela ponondyivi-ndyivi mbomeva.+
11 Onomphunda mbange ambuho mandyimbukalesa onondyila,Omatapalo ange, aakalondeka.+
12 Tala! Vekahi nokutunda kokule.+Tala! Vamwe vatunda kombanda, ovakwavo vatunda koutakelo,Nkhele ovakwavo vatunda kotyilongo tyo Sinii!”+
13 Kwiilila nehambu ove ulu, hambukwa ove heke.+
Onomphunda mbuhambukwe, otyo mbutwa ondolo.+
Mokonda, Siovaa waungumanesa ovanthu vae,+Wakala nokankhenda na vana vamoneswa ononkhumbi.+
14 Mahi, o Siyau itwalako nokuti:
“Siovaa wandyeka-po,+ Siovaa wandimbwa.”+
15 Okuti omukai upondola okulimbwa olukembe lwae,Okuti upondola okwahakala nonkhenda nomona womeimo liae?
Na ankho ovakai ovo valimbwa-ko, ame nii vala katutu himekulimbwa.+
16 Tala! Ame nekuhoneka peke liange!
Ovimato viove apeho vili kotyipala tyange.
17 Ovana vove vekahi nokukondoka liwa-liwa.
Vana vekuhanya-po, avekutungaulula, mavekekutunda.
18 Katula omaiho ove, otale kononthele ambuho.
Aveho veliongiya,+
Vekahi nokuya kwoove.
“Nomwenyo wange umwe,” o Siovaa wetyipopia,“Aveho mokevevala ngatyina ovipuka viokulihiwiswa,Ove mokelihiwiswa ngomuhikwena unepwa.
19 Namphila onohika mbove mbahanyauka, mbutupu natyike, otyilongo tyove tyahanyauka,+Pahe kuvana vakala-mo, matyikahita unene,+Vana vekutunyaunine,+ mavakakala kokule noove.+
20 Ovana vokwatyitwa pononthiki ove walula, mavekekupopila okuti:‘Omphangu ei yahita unene kwoonthwe.
Twaavele vali ofika yokukala.’+
21 Ove okelipopila momutima wove okuti:‘Olie wanthyitila ovana ava?Ame mukai wokwasiwa-po novana, ndyitupu olutyito,Ndyinkhwatwa, tupu ndyili koupika,
Olie watekula ovana ava?+
Tala! Ame ankho nesala vala andyike,+Opo ovana ava, vatunda-pi?’”+
22 Etyi, otyo tyapopia Tatekulu Ohamba Onene Siovaa, wati:
“Tala! Ame mandyikakatulila okuvoko kwange ovanthu vovilongo.Mandyikakatulila enyingilikilo* ovanthu vovilongo.+
Mavakatyinda ovana vove ovakwendye ponkhondo,* aveveeta,Avakaveleka ovana vove ovakainthu povipepe viavo.+
23 Ove mokayungwa nonohamba,+Okatekulwa novakai vavo.
Mavekelipetamena-po kwoove, avelipupika-po,+Avakalasa ombuma yo konomphai mbove.+Ove mokanoñgonoka okuti ame, ame Siovaa,Vana vakevela kwaame, kamavakakunda.”+
24 Okuti omulume wokwapama upondola okupolwa ononkhwatwa mbae?Okuti ononkhwatwa mbomunthu omukalavi mbupondola okuyovolwa-ko?
25 Mahi, etyi otyo tyapopia Siovaa, wati:
“Atee umwe ononkhwatwa mbomulume wokwapama, mambukapolwa-ko,+Ononkhwatwa mbomunthu omukalavi, mambukayovolwa.+
Ame mandyikayala vana vekuyele,+Andyikayovola ovana vove ovakwendye.
26 Vana vekulinga onya, mandyikevelisa ohitu yavo mwene,Avakakolwa nohonde yavo mwene, ngatyina vakolwa novinyu yahoholola.
Ovanthu aveho* mavakanoñgonoka okuti, ame, ame Siovaa,+Omuyovoli wove,+ Wokukupopila,+Una wokuna Evililo enene, wa Sakoo.”+
